Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 298 Scarlet Magician
"She is actually a female detective, which is quite rare."

As soon as the topic of detectives came up, Hattori Heiji was obviously very interested. He glanced at Kudo Shinichi who was standing aside and held the hat on his forehead curiously.

"Is it from Kanto? Or Kansai?"

Mizukawa picked up the photo of the Yata family on the table and shook his head at Hattori Heiji: "No, she said she was in England."

The topic returned to the current case. He kept shaking Kudo Shinichi's shoulders and found that he didn't remember the past at all after seeing this house. Hattori Heiji had to first inquire about the specific circumstances of the case of Mr. Yada.

"The current situation is that most of the things owned by the village chief Yata, except those inherited by the young master and taken by Makoto, are here."

A young policeman from the village police station came in carrying a small bag of information. He was careful not to leave any traces in the house and opened the information in his hand.

"It says that there are bloody footprints left by prisoners in Yata's house. The footprints are very messy and extend from the wife and the village chief's room on the third floor to the balcony on the second floor."

"Where is the murder weapon? Has it been found?"

The police rummaged through the documents, and then shook their heads: "It says that no murder weapon was found, but judging from the wound, the murderer seems to have killed his wife with a kitchen knife from the Yada family."

"It seems?" Hattori Heiji was very dissatisfied with the police's uncertainty.

"Because Mr. Jinli just became a policeman this year, and the old policeman who participated in Kudo Shinichi's case has retired." Shuichuan hugged his chest.

Walking around the living room a few times, squatting down, Hattori Heiji brought his head closer, and finally noticed a black thing between the two wooden floors, which seemed to be a stain left by blood after it had solidified.

According to the amount of bleeding, the murderer probably killed Mrs. Yada with a single knife, and the technique was a bit heavy. Moreover,

"Don't you have any precautions..."

Under the guidance of Mizukawa, they walked to the open-air balcony. A few people held on to the railings and could see the big lake where Kudo Shinichi was picked up yesterday and the hut on the mountain from a distance.

"The village chief jumped from this balcony and fell to his death." The new policeman glanced down: "Although this is only the second floor, because the old village chief's health is very poor, so..."

In Hattori Heiji's view, according to common sense, it was indeed a robber who broke into Yada's house and killed the village chief and his wife.

But Kudo Shinichi is not someone who can tell random reasoning, there must be other things, other things they don't know yet.

Although he regarded Kudo Shinichi as his opponent, Hattori Heiji would subconsciously defend him when he was questioned.

"As for the murder weapon, did the police find the murder weapon around the house?" Akiko remembered that when Yuji reasoned several times, he always started from the murder weapon and motive, so he looked at the police curiously.

"No murder weapon was found in the house, but the jewelry and a statue of General Hum were missing."

The policeman led everyone to the treasure room of the village chief, pointing to the now empty room, and took out a hajang statue from a wall cabinet with gloved hands.

"This thing is quite heavy."

Hattori took the statue with both hands and said, "By the way, I think the room next door is locked. What's going on?"

"The master's room is next door, and he has the key." Mizukawa seemed to be chatting with her pen pal who was a detective on her mobile phone, and heard Hattori Heiji talking about the next door.

"That night, because the young master locked the door and went to bed early, the robbers didn't seem to attack him. However, he himself said that the ring toy he had been playing with his father in the room was missing a ring. He probably lost it. Where."

The policeman flipped through the information: "However, when the police cooperated with Kudo Shinichi to search the house, they did not find the missing circle."

[Because it was raining on the day that the head of Yata and his wife died, only footprints could be vaguely seen on the muddy ground in front of the house, so the police could not confirm whether they were robbers or not.Since the high school detective Kudo Shinichi gave a reasoning, the police were naturally willing to close the case. 】

This is the default view of people in the village.

"That Yata." Hattori Heiji put his hands on his hips and yawned: "What happened when you called Kudo and me over, but you disappeared?"

"No! Makoto..." Shuichuan glanced at the phone, looking a little ugly: "He must have been killed by Lord Luo, the God of Death."

Why did it get involved with ghosts and gods...

"You had a strange expression just now. Did you receive any news? That pen pal." Mori Kogoro had been observing Mizukawa. Judging from his experience as a policeman, this girl didn't hide any information.

"What she said was wrong. She actually asked me to find Kudo Shinichi's younger brother to solve the case, that is Kudo Yuji." Shuichuan turned the phone over: "Say, Kudo Yuji is a very powerful detective, he can definitely give me an answer. "

Hearing the topic about Yuji, Akiko and the other three immediately pushed the others behind and blocked themselves in front of the mobile phone screen.

[Kudo Yuji is a very powerful detective. You can ask him to come, and he will definitely be able to give you the correct answer. —The Scarlet Magician]

"Hey, I didn't expect that there is Yuji's crush in England, which is so far away. It sounds like she has a good relationship with Yuji, and they seem to be very familiar..."

Before Hattori Heiji could finish his teasing words, he was punched twice by Ran and Kazuha. He was forced to kneel on the ground and cover his stomach to shut up. Only then did he realize that black gas was coming out of Kaori and Yuzuki's heads.

very scary…

"Yuji, it's true, we are so worried about him, yet he still has contact with a young lady in the UK..."

Akiko wanted to say something nice to Yuji, but noticed the kind aura of her two sisters and chose to follow her inner guidance.

.........

"It's so strange, I suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in my body just now."

Holding Conan in his arms and sliding down to the bottom of the tree, Yuji twisted his tail and walked towards the top of the mountain. Through his observation just now, he almost knew the truth about the death of the village chief.

But where did the lost treasure go? Because the Juriyada family who was peeping at the situation was not nearby, Yuji failed to hear a key piece of information.

This cat demon is quite smart...

Conan, who was hugged by the big cat, just felt that it was outrageous at the moment. There really was a cat monster in front of him, and he was quite smart.

From time to time, the white wig of Shinigami Luo on Yuji's head was brushed in front of his nose, and he couldn't help but sneeze. Conan caught a glimpse of the white Porsche parked on the roadside at the entrance of the village, and hurriedly broke away from the big cat and ran over.

"It's not wrong, this is Yuji's other car, and he's here too?"

Found Rei Ayanami's little doll hanging on the rearview mirror, Conan found that he couldn't open the door, so he looked around.If my younger brother could stand up, he would definitely be able to expose the fake.

"Damn! Where did that stinky brat go?"

In order to find the fake and prevent him from staying outside, Conan ran back to Mr. Simeowro and went up the mountain with him.
